Abstract

An asset tracking system that utilizes a wireless network system and has primary (main) and secondary (sub) tracking devices or 'tags' that are assigned to assets. The main tracking device acts as a coordinator and the sub tracking devices surrounding the coordinator act as end-devices. Each main device acts as a gateway network to long range communication while each sub device can only communicate in proximity profile (short range or nearby communication). Each sub device can communicate only with a main device. The main device passes data from the sub device to a remote host transparently. Each sub device sends its data when it triggered by a 'ping' from the main device.
